A mega sweat is someone whose tryhard behaviour has surpassed all reasonable competitive benchmarks and entered the realm of the genuinely alarming. This isn't someone who tries hard in ranked — this is someone who brings full ranked intensity to every single interaction, including modes explicitly designed to be casual. A mega sweat in a party game is a social crime. In a competitive setting they're either carrying the team or making everyone miserable, sometimes both.
An extremely or excessively competitive player.
Trying excessively hard at a competitive game; over-serious. Pejorative.
Sweat mode is the deliberate decision to play at maximum intensity — every decision optimised, every movement precise, emotion stripped out, pure competitive execution. It's not how you always play; it's a mode you switch into when the stakes feel real enough to justify the mental cost. 'I'm going into sweat mode' is a declaration that the gloves are coming off. It can apply beyond gaming too: any domain where you shift from casual participation to locked-in, obsessive performance qualifies as sweat mode.
Hyper sweat describes a level of competitive energy that's visibly beyond normal tryhard — frenetic, jittery, and loud about it. Where a regular sweater is disciplined and quiet about their obsession, a hyper sweat is visibly wired, over-communicating callouts, second-guessing everything, and spinning out in real time. The energy is high, the output is erratic, and the vibe in the lobby is tense. Hyper sweats often paradoxically perform worse than calmer sweaters because the intensity is bleeding all over the place.
He's been hyper sweat all session — constant callouts, three sensitivity changes, and we're 10 minutes in.
